The voice typing feature of google docs is a online speech-to-text
converter. It can be found on any google docs document under Toosl>Voice
Typing and it only runs with Chrome or Chromium.
However while I can use this feature using the google chromium.deb
build. I cdoesn't work on the chromium snap. Instead the browser
constantly opens and closes the access to the microphone, resulting in a
flickering microphone icon in the top right of the screen.
The fact that this works with the .deb but not with the snap make me
think it is a snap related issue.
